slope Consider the function We could make a graph of the slope: Now we connect the dots! The resulting curve is a cosine curve.
slope We can do the same thing for The resulting curve is a sine curve that has been reflected about the x-axis.
We can find the derivative of tangent x by using the quotient rule.
Derivatives of the remaining trig functions can be determined the same way. p
